Professor David Manning assesses the suitability and availability of different rock types in the UK and other countries, and investigates the practical aspects of delivering the services that weathering silicate rocks provide (crop nutrients and CO2 removal).
Example projects
ViTAL Living Laboratory: measuring the carbon budgets in a major multi-use estate and identifying ways to increase soil carbon capture.
